The report aims to identify and analyse good practices and training needs with regard to protecting migrant children’s rights in Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Romania.
It has been developed by a team of international experts within the SUN project - Safeguarding Unaccompanied and Separated Children’s Rights through the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFREU).
The report was designed as a useful tool for social workers and professionals working with migrant children and youth. It addresses national legislation concerning migrant children rights, identifies obstacles and challenges, training needs and good practices in the six countries, and formulates key recommendations with the aim of ensuring the safeguarding, well-being, and integration of unaccompanied and separated refugee and migrant children across the EU countries.
80 professionals and practitioners working with migrant children were interviewed with the purpose of collecting information for this report. Additionally, 57 migrant children’s opinions were taken into consideration to compile this report.
